Upgrade 6 Issues...iTunes disappears from computer

Haven't done an itunes upgrade in a LONG time since it always causes a problem (windows xp, service pack 2). Tried to upgrade to version 6 and it looks like the install goes okay and i don't get an actual error message, but it stops just short of completing and since the initial attempt, all of my itunes folders have disappeared from my desktop and my shortcuts are gone. I still have my ipod folder....but the itunes ones are missing. Been trying to fix for 5 hours now and am freaking out. P.S. All the songs still appear on my ipod and when i reboot my computer, it doesn't automatically update the ipod like it used to.

hi Jenn!
I don't think so, but I'm not sure if it is included in the windows update that I downloaded this week.
I think you're fine, then. i believe you have to deliberately go out and find and install hotfixes (they're a sort of "halfway house" on the way to a proper security update). someone please leap in to correct me if i'm wrong about that.
I am running XP home ... service pack 2
okay, i'm afraid the Windows repair install is the recommended procedure in your situation (a "vanishing installation"). it's not something i've done myself, so if you'll excuse me for one moment:
b hi y'all! does anyone with experience with a repair install of XP Home SP2 have any words of advice for Jenn before she tries this? any input gratefully appreciated!
love, b

unfortunately, the music feature is currently available in the US only, so if you're located elsewhere, your only option would be to restore the missing files from the backup you surely have created?!

Itunes disappeared from pc

i just noticed that my itunes has disappeared from my computer. The icon on the desktop is gone, I looked through "all programs" and it is not listed and I went to add/remove hardware and it is not listed there either. When i hook up my ipod nothing happens or comes up. I'm wondering if I should do a system restore on my pc back to the last date I know I purchased songs from itunes or if there is something else I could do. I also wonder if all the songs we purchased will be gone. If I log into the itune store from antoher computer will our purchased songs still be in our account? Thanks for any help or suggestions anyone has!

Cancel that... I uninstalled Quicktime and it started working. Will cross the reinstalling of quicktime down the track I suppose... thanks again

Purchased music from itunes disappears from my ipod mini

some of my purchased music disappeared from my mini ipod. I resynced my ipod and reloaded the tunes. they disappeared again. any ideas what the problem could be? thanks for the help.

I have had a very similar problem to the original post. Every four or five days I go to use my iPod (color display) and find nothing there except photos. All songs are gone. When I synch with my iTunes(iMac G5), everything gets dumped back on and it is OK for several days, then the same thing happens. It has happened three or four times now. Any suggestions on what might be going on here?

Can I move my iTunes library from computer to another.

I have around 2000 songs or more, but the computer that it is on now is really old. If so, how do I do it? And can me and boyfriend both share the iTunes library from different Iphones/iPods?

Itunes gone from computer

I have tried to repair from Computer programs but keep getting error invalid F:.. don't have an F:.. I have also tried to download updates and re install from original disc but still the same error. Can anyone advise as this is driving me crazy. Haven't had any of these problems before.

+I don't even know what signing on as administrator really means. Come over and step me through this.+
Yikes! Yeah, if you don't know what an admin account is, I don't know that I'll be successful stepping you through this over the internet. You might want to call a PC-savvy friend or hire a local PC tutor to do this.
But, let's see how far you get.
Also, your signature line says Windows 98. That can't be right, at least not if you're tyring to install iTunes, because APple never made a version for WIn 98!

4.3 upgrade on 3GS, Music disappears from phone once you download a Podcast

Anyone having the same problem? Since I've upgraded to 4.3, if I download a podcast on my phone via wifi, all my music disappears and so do my podcasts. They are still on the phone but it says "there is no music, download from iTunes"
Music is easily restored if I connect the phone with my mac and play a song from my phone through iTunes.
Anyone know how to "cure" this?

The basics from the manual are reset, restart, restore.
Have you tried any of these?

Purchased movie on iTunes disappeared from library and iTunes Store.

I bought the movie Ice Princess about 5 years ago. I just now started to watch it again recently, but oddly it disappeared. I went to check my iTunes purchased movies and it's gone from there too. I went to check the store and it says that it is unavailable in the US, but is available in the Ukraine. Am I eligible to get my money back or a second download?

No, if the film is no longer in your country's store then you won't be able to redownload it, and you can't get a refund. You haven't got a copy of it on your computer's iTunes and/or on your backup of your downloads ? There is no guarantee that any item (including apps etc) will remain in a country's store, so ideally you'd be keeping and maintaining a backup of all of your downloads.
It's possible that the film studio will allow Apple to put the film back into the US store at some point, in which case you might then be able to redownload it

Why are my movies, which are still available in itunes, disappearing from my account?

I have had several movies (Thor, Capt America, Xmen first class) disappear across the cloud. They are still on my computer where I originally transferred the digital copy, but can't get them on apple tv. The itunes store has them as available to purchase like I haven't already done that with the digital copy. I was able to reinstall with the digital copy disc and my old code, but what happens when those codes don't work anymore? Why did itunes not recognize the purchase? This first happened several months ago with xmen. Then I noticed this evening the same thing had happened to capt america and thor. Would like to prevent it from happening in the future incase I no longer have the digital copy disk or my kids lost the codes.

Also it now means that I have duplicate graphics on my computer now. One with the cloud logo and one that is the movie appear because of the reinstall.

Itunes disappeared from my pc and now I can't install it again - Windows 7

I have been using itunes with no problem till now. I have a pc with Windows 7. I plugged my iphone in and itunes wouldn't open as I expected it to. When I went to open it via the shortcut the message told me that there was nothing at that location should it delete it? I had a look and itunes was still in the program list but when I tried to open it the same message about nothing being at that location came up. I uninstalled itunes and then downloaded it from the apple website and it appeared to work and said it had installed correctly. The shortcut is there and it is in the program list but when i try and open it nothing happens. I have tried repairing it and repairing the apple update file but nothing has worked. I have tried creating a new user account are redownloading it there but again nothing happens. Please please please help. I am not particularly computer savy and don't know what else to do. Thanks for your time x

Cancel that... I uninstalled Quicktime and it started working. Will cross the reinstalling of quicktime down the track I suppose... thanks again
